Sklyarov Case Opens Today

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the please-use-the-pirate's-entrance dept.

weakethics writes "The trial is scheduled to start today in the case of Adobe/DMCA versus Skylarov/Elcomsoft/right-thinking-people everywhere. The SF Chron has a story about it. It quotes a former DOJ attorney about the impact of the DMCA "I don't think it's had the effect that a lot of people have argued it would have -- with a single criminal case in four years." Who obviously (purposefully?) misses the point: it's about intimidation rather than litigation."

    They just do not know it yet.

    Once Microsoft Office steals their thunder from Acrobat, Adobe will have little to fall back upon. Their image editing and publishing tools and just to fscking expensive for most people to afford, and they'll quietly slip beneath the waves.

    I believe great strides should be made to objectify the page a little more. If not, maybe the title should be changed to "Opinions of CmdrTaco, Stuff that Matters to him."

    Pick one or the other. It's a news site or it's the personal homepage of a few random people.

    Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.
